The constitution of Connecticut,
ostensibly to prevent the election OF
a governor by minority vote, pro
vides that plurality OF votes must
be received in order to elect, and
where plurality, that is a majority,
of all che votes cast is not received
by any one candidate, the election is
thrown into the legislature. The
practical working of this arrange
ment was seen in the last election in
that state. The democratic candi-
date received 5000 majority over his
republican opponent, but not ma
jority of all the votes cast. The
election was therefore thrown into
the Legislature and that body being
republican, elected the republican
Notwithstanding he had been beaten
at the polls by 5000, thus giving
Connecticut minority governor.

PRoF. j. II. Shinn in well writ
ten article TO recent number OF the
Gazette, shows the manifest unfair
ness of the present basis of repre-
sentation IN the lower house of the
legislature. He sets forth the facts
that Crawford county, with one mem
Der represents larger vote than
Phillips with three members, and a
larger vote than any of the IL coun-
ties with two. That Pope, Conway
Franklin and Logan, each with one
member, voted more votes than sew
en- Of the counties with two mem
bers. That Pulaski with only few
more than twice as many votes as
Crawford, has four members while
Crawford has one. 1t looks like this
inequality, or disproportion is Sc
very glazing, as to need a remedy.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient TO suppose he had some affec-
ton of the kidneys or ncighboring or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
ton are present, as flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture.
like perspiration, producing q very
disagreeablc itching, after getting
warm, is very common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield
at once to the application of DR. Boz
sanko's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
iy upon the part affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure. Price,

Of mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.

worn out with disease, when there
is no occasion for this feeling, as
every sufferer can easily obtain sat

Danger of Dancing

Carlisle (Ark.) correspondence in the
Little Rock Gazette.
Quite a sconrge of pneumonia has
afflicted a small section Of our county
south of this place quite recently.
For week there was an average OF
one death a day in single commu-
nifty. A fact in connection with this
it may be well enough to state, viz:
Nearly every case OF this sickness,
and all the fatality, was among PEG
pie who spent the week preceding
their illness and death in dancing.
A dance was had at a certain house
when they danced all night. In the
next few days there we're seven cases
of pneumonia, three of whom died
in two days.

THE friends of Hon. RIB Hudgins,
of Boone, are more than reioiced to
see him come out of the tussle with
Speaker Hewitt unscathed, and his
star ascending. On the floor of the
house just after the occurrence of the
affair, we were pleased to be assured
that the Boone County boy came out
OF the furry wearing the honors, both
in point of generous, manly conduct
and downright ability. There SEEM
ed to be disposition to want to
down this splendid specimen of
Northwestern manhood, and the dis
position seems to have been abetted
by the Little Rock dailies
and reporters who managed to get
him into print incorrectly, and at a
disadvantage. But the fact is Hud-
gins wouldn't down. He wasn't
made for that purpose. Like Aunt
Jemima's plaster which only stuck
the faster the more you tried to pull
it off, this fearless, brilliant, Arkan-
sas legislator and orator, only stood
up the more firmly through the eff
forts to down him, and his metal was
simply FURNISHED by the fires of OPP
position. This rencounter with the
Speaker illustrated his keen intell-
gence and quick logic. and brought
out the generosity of his nature, and
these coupled with his able cham
pionship of many measures directly
IN the interest of the people, combine
to make Mr.. Hudglns the leader Of
the house, and one of the coming
men in Arkansas.

PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for March
is already before us-as usual, ahead
OF all It's contemporaries. One notice
able thing about this ever-progres-
sive lady's book is that'it has, each
month, some new and peculiar feature.
This month, it is an article on Queen
Victoria, this being the "Jubiee" or
fiftieth year of her reign, 1t has
illustrations of her in childhood, in
her coronation robes, her wedding,
as she looks now, etc. There is a
very fine teel.engravlng, after a
famous picture in the last Paris
Salon; a double SIZE colored fashion
plate; colored design for tidy on
Java canvas; .and some fifty other
engravings of fashions, work table
designs, etc. We have not space to
notice half the good things in the
way of reading, but would call atten
ton especially to "The Mountain
Wizard" a story Of remarkable power
and pathos. Everything that a
woman can wish for in a magazine
is found in Peterson" and, in con-
sequence, this lady's book ought to
be found in every household. Now
is a good time to subscribe. Terms

tions to clubs. Specimens sent, gratis,
